Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tribute Test (II)

The Da Chu exam is mostly in Qiuqiu, which of course means the examination room.

On August 1, all the people went to the Gongyuan to participate in the examination with different moods.

"Everyone, at this time, you have to be determined, you don't need to bring anything, just go with me!" Zheng Chengyi said, the sky was still bright at this time, and everyone politely thanked and followed.

Out of the courtyard, at this time, the street between the courtyards has accumulated into a flow of people, among these streams, all of them are old men, surging to the tribute courtyard.

This kind of big test, who dares to slack off, so when almost all the children arrive in front of the tribute courtyard, the time has not yet arrived, at this time, a battalion of armor soldiers was transferred, so that a tribute courtyard reached the scale of 500 armor soldiers, which is simply comparable to the strict palace.

Juzi stood and rested one by one, and friends talked in a circle, Fang Xin watched Juzi very interestingly, in fact, everyone is nervous now, so it is only reluctant to talk and laugh.

Especially Zou Lixing, his face was even a little pale, and when he saw his friend's comfort, he said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed, my family is poor, I can't read the two, I originally had a brother in the family, and I was also familiar with the scriptures, in order to make money to support my family, but after winning the show, I entered the Ming Jing Department and became a Jiupin official. ”

Hearing this, the three of them were silent, in fact, being admitted to the Jinshi was not the only choice for the Great Chu Imperial Court

There are also two subjects of Ming Jing and Ming Arithmetic, in order to train ordinary officials, after all, tax arithmetic, it is also indispensable for the country, and as long as it is a child and a talent, you can participate, but this kind of exam comes out, and it is best to be only nine products, and it is even more difficult to be promoted in the future. Hardly anyone can surpass the fifth grade)

But if you get the Jinshi, it will be different immediately, basically it is a degree of money, and the future is limitless.

"This is also human nature, Brother Zou doesn't have to be too nervous, and the tribute test is different from the past, there is only one day, Brother Zou still needs to calm down before he can do well in the exam!" At that moment, Zheng Chengyi said admonishingly.

Show talent should be examined. Raise people to take the test of Moyi, and be able to rush to take the Jinshi. Naturally, everyone is very familiar with the basic skills, so in fact, there are not many questions for the basic skills, the main thing is to test the scriptures and articles, and the natural time will not take three days. Lin Lei

As he spoke. It's time. Suddenly, the forbidden drum sounded, the gate of the tribute courtyard slowly opened, and two teams of officials came out, according to the province, and those who shouted to the province stepped forward one by one, holding their bronze medals and entering.

When I arrived at the inner courtyard, there was another big bucket, and I took off my clothes and washed it in water. After an official inspected his clothes and made sure that he was innocent, he officially entered the examination room.

Once inside the exam room, the first gate is immediately closed, and secondly. The second gate was immediately closed. The armor slammed up and closed up. At this time, unless there is a holy decree, otherwise, even if the prime minister and the prince on the spot dare to break in, they will be killed.

The Ministry of Rites personally presided over the tribute examination, three thousand candidates were all disrupted, and they entered randomly, this examination institute is actually four long corridors in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and is divided into more than a dozen long strips horizontally, in each corridor, it is a room, because the exam is only one day, there is no need to sleep, so the room is very small, almost can only accommodate one person, a table and a chair.

There is no door in the examination room, and the examiners in the separate rooms inspect back and forth, and even have a soldier accompanying them to supervise.

In the center of the examination room, there is a high platform, and the high platform can be condescending, seeing the situation of the entire examination room, on the high platform, there are naturally two chief examiners, one is Xu Xiangqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, this is the official of the fourth grade, this is also used to it, every tribute test, there is always the participation of the Ministry of Rites, and there is one person, who is the examiner designated by the emperor, but this time it is Du Zhao, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, who is also the fourth grade.

The time has come, the two of them arched their hands to each other, got up together, bowed to a yellow silk package on the case, and then gave the book to be opened, which is the test question.

This is the paper of the Divine Decree, a golden scroll.

Singing the test questions, naturally carried out by Xu Xiangqing, he cleared his throat and read out the requirements aloud, which is only possible for the tribute test, because the questions are actually very simple, each take a sentence of scripture, and the requirements are therefore articles, a total of three questions, so it can be read on the spot, no one will forget, if it is a show and a lifting exam, but also to test the memory of scripture paragraphs, it is absolutely not good.

When the examiner read it out in the examination room, the inspector took the little officials and read them one by one along the corridor to the juzi, three times in a row.

Generally speaking, the blank paper is always a stack and can be used, so candidates can watch it carefully after the test, and if there is a mistake, they can copy it on a new paper.

This is because it is not easy to get a tribute, and the imperial court does not want to fail the candidates because of a momentary writing error, so try to eliminate the accidentality and only look at the candidate's ability to learn the text.

After getting the exam paper, Fang Xinxian didn't start writing, just thinking silently, he had already read a lot of wonderful scriptures and articles on the main plane when he took the exam, of course, it was impossible to get all the questions right, but if it was just for reference, it was completely enough.

Countless exquisite articles, one by one in the mind, in the mind, Fang Xin has been written like a cloud like flowing water, and so in the mind, all three questions are written, at this time, the drum sounded, it is obvious that it has reached noon, because it is the Gongshi exam, and there is only one meal at noon, so the court attaches great importance to it, the emperor specially decreed, with five dishes and one soup as the standard.

Therefore, when the time comes, it will be sent one by one by special people, and the officials and examiners in each room will also be further inspected.

Fang Xin was calmly using the meal, but the little official who didn't want to deliver the food found that he hadn't written a word, and when he quit, he reported to the examiner in this room.

The name of the examiner in this room is Zhengqipin Ding Ren, but when he heard it, he was surprised.

After all, in the afternoon, the end of the Shen unit will be closed (5 p.m.), and it can be copied, why don't you write it in this life? If you make a mistake, you can modify it!

If it is said that the examination has reached the stage of Gongsheng, there are still people who are born in vain, which is simply impossible, in the Xiucai exam, some people may rely on cheating, actually can't write, hand in the white paper, but in the exam, there should not be this situation, in the Gongsheng exam, if someone can't write a word to hand in the white paper, and find out that the previous fame, is by fraud, that is the biggest fraud this year, maybe the emperor immediately became angry, traced down, dozens of relevant officials or killed, or exiled.

Thinking of this, Ding Ren couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he went up to take a look in person.

When he arrived at the door, he swept it, and it was a white roll, and it was not easy to speak as usual, Ding Ren only coughed and asked, "Do you have a problem with pen and ink?" If yes, it can be replaced. ”

Maybe there are some problems with the brush inkstone.

Fang Xin arched his hand and said: "The student is thinking, and he will write after a while, and the pen and ink have nothing to do." ”

After Fang Xin finished speaking, he pondered again, and at this time, Ding Ren couldn't say anything, only passed by.

In his mind, Fang Xin scrutinized and revised the words and sentences that had already been written, and the wonderful articles in his previous life had all been integrated into them, and time passed unconsciously, condensing into a chapter.

You must know that the imperial articles of the previous life, which have been very thorough for thousands of years, have been very thorough in the Jingyi articles, and they have not accumulated work for decades before they become an immortal work, although they are not completely to the point, but in terms of the argument of a single paragraph, it is unmatched in the world.

And Ding Ren had already walked through his door twice, and he was already desperate in his heart, thinking: Even if you write something casually, don't hand in such a big scandal as a white scroll!

In fact, at this time, even the two examiners on the high platform were already alarmed, and they looked at this corridor and this room with some surprise.

Just thinking about it, but seeing that Fang Xin inside had already moved, he sharpened his pen and ink, and suddenly his spirit was shocked, and he looked straight at it, he just hoped that this candidate would not make any blank papers.

After a while, the ink has been grinded, Fang Xin picked up the pen, the pen is like a god, a blank paper hundreds of words, straight up and down, immediately waved, the words are like pearls and jade, the traces are full of energy, after writing, immediately change to a piece of paper, and then write a piece, this feeling is almost like the Milky Way pouring down, producing an incomparably happy feeling, a total of six pieces of writing, three questions have been written.

After writing, Fang Xin neither checked nor copied, he had absolute confidence in his physical and mental control, just waited, let the ink on the paper dry through, and it would never be pasty again, so he pulled the bell, and then stood up, holding the test paper with both hands, bowing his head respectfully, waiting for the examiner to take it off.

Ding Ren had to step forward, he couldn't take down the exam paper in person, but an official who had to be a special obscure name stepped forward to obscure his name, and said: "You can step down, just rest in the rest room, and go out later." ”

Fang Xin went out at this time, and the time in the examination room was already two-thirds of the time, which was not too sudden, so some candidates just glanced at it casually and ignored it, even if they had already written, they had to scrutinize it carefully, for fear that they would hand in the paper in the end, and there would be problems with the words and handwriting.

Fang Xin was relaxed, and when he entered the rest room, he saw that there were already two candidates inside, so he didn't say much, just took a sip of tea.
